60 Years of Modern Plays

Set in the early Thatcher years, Top Girls is a seminal play of the modern theatre, revealing a world of women's experience at a pivotal moment in British history. Told by an eclectic group of historical and modern characters in a continuous conversation across ages and generations it was described by The Guardian as ‘the best British play ever from a woman dramatist’.

In 1995 Sarah Kane's first full-length play Blasted sent shockwaves throughout the theatrical world.

Making front-page headlines, the play outraged critics with its depiction of rape, torture and violence in civil war. However, from being roundly condemned by the critics the play is now considered a seminal work of European theatre and has defined an entire era of stage writing.

And then, there is the not so simple matter of the inheritance…As the twisted game between mother and son reaches breaking point, Irish care worker Marion Fee finds herself an unwitting pawn, played from both sides. Nell will stop at nothing for her bitter triumph over Sydney - but he has his own plans.

Zoe Cooper

A tender new play about gender, wild swimming, and how we define who we are.

Rutherford and Son Githa Sowerby

In a northern industrial town, John Rutherford rules both factory and family with an iron will. But even as the furnaces burn relentlessly at the Glassworks, at home his children begin to turn against him.

Githa Sowerby’s astonishing play was inspired by her own experience of growing up in a family-run factory in Gateshead. Writing in 1912, when female voices were seldom heard on British stages, she now claims her place alongside Ibsen and Bernard Shaw with this searing depiction of class, gender and generational warfare.

Sound Effect

The Theatre We Hear Ross Brown, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, UK Sound Effect tells the story of the effect of theatrical aurality on modern culture. Beginning with the emergence of the modern scenic sound effect in the late 18th century, and ending with headphone theatre which brings theatre’s auditorium into an intimate relationship with the audience’s internal sonic space, the book relates contemporary questions of theatre sound design to a 250-year Western cultural history of hearing. It focuses on sound in popular culture – ranging from pantomimes to popular radio theatre, to comedy, novelty sound effects and pop music – arguing that these have exerted a major influence on contemporary theatre.

Performer Training Reconfigured Post-Psychophysical Perspectives for the Twenty-First Century Frank Camilleri, University of Malta, Malta Performer Training Reconfigured rethinks the phenomenon of training for theatre and performance in the light of 21st-century developments, technologies and conditions.

Stemming from the author's extensive practice and incorporating a review of current practices and theories, it advances different perspectives on how material circumstances shape and affect processes of training, devising, rehearsing and performing. Frank Camilleri puts forward the 'post-psychophysical' as a more extended form of psychophysical discursivity and practices that emerged and dominated in the 20th century. It offers invaluable introductions to a wide range of theories that can be applied to other areas of theatre, dance and performance.

Edited by Tom Cantrell, University of Westminster, UK & Christopher Hogg, Sheffield Hallam University, UK This is the first book to bring together scholarly and practitioner perspectives on acting for television.

In 15 new essays by internationally distinguished researchers and actor-trainers, and the most exciting early-career scholars, this collection analyses the acting processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed television actors such as Hugh Bonneville, Viola Davis, Philip Glenister, Hugh Laurie, Maxine Peake and Jason Watkin.

Applied Theatre: Women and the Criminal Justice System

Caoimhe McAvinchey, Queen Mary University London, UK

Alternative Comedy

1979 and the Reinvention of British Stand-Up Oliver Double, University of Kent, UK

This book provides the first sustained critical enquiry into applied theatre practice with women affected by the criminal justice system. Drawing on a range of international case studies, interviews with practitioners and participants and original documentation from applied theatre projects, the book articulates new understanding about the cultural representations of women who offend, how government policy inscribes social, economic and political values upon these bodies and how applied theatre practice negotiates ideas of identity, agency, authority and representation.

This book draws on a wealth of archive material – including unpublished recordings of early performances – and new interviews with key figures such as Alexei Sayle, Andy de la Tour and Jim Barclay, to provide a detailed history of the alternative comedy scene in Britain since the late 1970s, and an examination of the distinctive modes of performance style which developed. It traces the influence of American stand-ups and the significance of the opening of the Comedy Store in 1979, but it also looks at smaller venues and less celebrated acts before assessing alternative comedy’s legacy today.

Exploring Television Acting

Performance, Medicine and the Human Alex Mermikides, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London, UK

This book explores parallels between two ancient human practices: performance on the one hand, and medicine on the other. Its rationale is that performance and medicine share a number of concerns including questions of corporeality, subjectivity, identity and embodiment; and both individual and social responses to health, illness and the advances of biomedical knowledge and technologies.

Above all, though, performance and medicine share an engagement with the human, at a time when the ‘concept of the human’ is ‘exploded’ (Braidotti, 2013).The study is illustrated with first-hand accounts of hospital wards, operating theatre, laboratories, rehearsal rooms, theatre auditoria and stages.

Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance

David Roberts, Birmingham City University, UK "This captivating biography, full of previously undiscovered material, tells the story of Restoration playwright George Farquhar (1677–1707) in reverse: from his death in poverty, through the success of The Beaux Stratagem and A Recruiting Officer, and ending with his birth in Londonderry. Essential reading not only for those interested in Farquhar or 18th-century theatre, but also in the literature of the dispossessed, it is the first study to combine elegant readings of Farquhar’s plays with migrancy criticism. Farquhar, it shows, was more modern than any other writer of the period."

Fiery Temporalities in Theatre and Performance The Initiation of History

Maurya Wickstrom, City University of New York, USA "In a wonderful book that sets itself compellingly against death, against tragedy, against the closures and comforts of (theatrical) repetition, Maurya Wickstrom designates the theatre she loves as the source of an irruptive force of initiation. An initiation that is not against anything, that is not mere resistance, but insists instead upon being for something, for something before the end, for revolution, perhaps.

Its bold claims are sustained through illuminating attention to the experience of a contemporary theatre that wrestles with its own contemporaneity."

Women’s Labour and the History of the Book in Early Modern England Edited by Valerie Wayne, University of Hawaii at Mano, USA This collection brings to light many of the women whose labour was important to the creation and consumption of early modern English books, from those who raked linen rags out of London’s dunghills for producing paper, to those who operated printing presses and financed the production of books, sold them, wrote them, edited them, owned and read them. The essays in this collection locate and assess women’s influence in the book trade. By considering women from differing backgrounds who engaged in manual, commercial, familial and literary forms of labour, this collection recovers women’s participation in book history as never before.

Shakespeare and Posthumanist Theory Karen Raber, University of Mississippi, USA

This book charts challenges in the field of Shakespeare studies to the assumption that the category 'human' is real, stable, or worthy of privileging in discussions of the playwright’s work. Drawing on a variety of methodologies – cognitive theory, systems theory, animal studies, ecostudies, the new materialisms – the volume investigates the world of Shakespeare’s plays and poems in order to represent more thoroughly its variety, its ethics of inclusion, and its resistance to human triumphalism and exceptionalism.

Shakespeare in the Theatre: The National Theatre, 1963–1975 Olivier and Hall

Childhood in Contemporary Performance of Shakespeare

New Places: Shakespeare and Civic Creativity

Gemma Miller, King’s College London, UK

Child characters feature more numerously and prominently in the Shakespearean canon than in that of any other early modern playwright.

Focusing on stage and film productions from the past four decades, this study addresses how Shakespeare's child characters are reflected, refracted and reinterpreted in performance. By adopting an inter-disciplinary approach that incorporates close reading, historicist literary criticism, semiotics, childhood studies, queer theory and performance studies, Gemma Miller explores the ways in which performing childhood in Shakespeare’s plays can reveal often uncomfortable truths about ideas of childhood, both in the early modern period and today.
